In this case, there might be a number of preset names already typed in the Patch Manager cells.
• Some specific drivers are more like Lists Drivers, they allow you to select between Patches,
but they do not do any data dumps (because the device doesn't support it). The names may
be editable or not.
• If you wonder about naming, open the Patch Manager for a device. Hold down [Alternate]
and double click on a cell. You will then note if the name can be edited or not. If the names
can be edited, pull down the pop-up Functions menu and check the items. If one says Save
Names, then names are saved with the “data” in the Bank. If it says Save/Update Names, this
is some sort of list driver. The names are saved (Updated) into the “driver file” itself.
The Korg 03R/W and 05R/W are examples of devices which have two Parent modes. There is first of all a Combi mode where they receive on eight MIDI Channels. This is the mode you should normally use when you want to use them multitimbrally. But there is also a more "primitive" Multi Mode where they receive on sixteen MIDI Channels, which you might want to access.
The Studio Module handles the 03R/W’s and 05/RW’s Multi Mode like this:When you pull down the Instrument menu and select the 03R/W or 05/RW, an Instrument category menu appears which lists the possibilities: "Program", "Program (Multi)", "Combi" and "Child".
Setting one Track to the "Program (Multi)" Instrument, puts the device in its Multi Mode.Whenever you see an Instrument Category with the text "(Multi)" appended to it, it will be for reasons similar to that of the Korg 03R/W and 05R/W.
• The Patches that you select for Children in multitimbral mode are called Timbres. However, Timbres don't have names. Instead, Timbres play Tones, which do have names (but that can't be edited). So, when you click on a cell, you select a Timbre, but you see Tone names (Sorry, if this is hard to grasp...).
• Furthermore, the D-5, D-10 and D-20 do not allow selection of Timbres via MIDI in their multitimbral mode. You will be able to set a Track to the right "Child Instrument", but you won’t be able to select a Patch for it. Sorry!
• When opening the Patch Manager from the Modules menu, you can Macro Edit and Rename the Tones.
• You will only be able to access the Macro Editor if you are trying with a Tone in a "RAM " bank that is currently loaded into computer memory.
Some very rare devices have no data associated with a certain Data type, but still, there will be card names to select from (the only case known, as of this writing, is the Roland R8-M). In this case, only names will be stored with a Data Dump when you save it to disk.
